The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Thirty
I don’t utter a single word in the car, I didn’t even turn to look at Austin even once. My mind couldn’t wrap its way around the event that just happened, what the heck was Austin thinking?! I know Markus has to be involved in it somehow, or he wouldn’t have reacted the way that he did afterwards.Once we pull up at the apartment, I didn’t wait for him to turn the car off before I climb out. I didn’t want to sit there and allow him to tell me how it was all Markus’s fault, Austin does have his own mind to make his own decisions. Kissing his best friends girlfriend is a big decision that he made! I climb the stairs to the apartment while Austin closes his car door, I was unlocking the apartment door as he was still at the button of the stairs. I enter the apartment and head towards my bedroom, while I hear the front door close behind me. Austin must have ran up the stairs to catch up.“Payton please” Austin starts to say but I shake my head looking back at him for a second, I didn’t ev

I stay in my room just staring at the wall, what does Austin expect me to do with the information he just told me? What will Roman do if he found out? When he gets back are we just going to pretend none of this happened? As I’ve said before Roman is so good at catching the vibes of the room, he’ll know something is off almost immediately and will ask what’s going on.I couldn’t help but feel bad for Austin, if he’s telling the truth and he has been hiding the way he was feeling since school, that’s been more than a few years. From the way he was telling me back there, I could just see how hard it was for him to tell me.Before I had time to dwell on those thoughts anymore, Austin starts to shout dinner was ready in the kitchen. How is he acting so casual after what we just spoke about?! With a little sigh I sit up from bed, I knew I couldn’t avoid Austin forever. Firstly, because we live in the same apartment and second, we still have to keep up the couple act around Markus. I slide o

It was the next morning, I didn’t really get much sleep last night as my mind was just racing with all the things Austin told me yesterday. The thing I couldn’t get out my head was the way he said Roman treats me, I’ve never thought Roman treated me badly, he’s just really over protective. He’s always been like that ever since we started dating, he used to walk me to and from school to keep me safe even though it added an extra hour onto his walk each day.What also was playing on my mind all night, was when Austin told me he loved me. I didn’t know how I was supposed to handle that, until Roman left I generally thought that man disliked or even hated me at times! But according to him, he’s had those feelings for me ever since we met in school. But why would he constantly treat me like dirt then?A knock on my bedroom door makes me jump slightly, within a few seconds Austin was walking in with a plate of food in his hands. That same smile still on his lips, which I couldn’t help but s

We walk around the different stalls for around an hour, I could not get over the beauty of this place and how it is not really known to the public. Now I know about it, I hope Austin is telling me the truth when he tells me we can come here often.The people were also so nice, they were just generally grateful that we were there walking around. I must have thanked Austin like a thousand times for taking me here, this was truly a beautiful place!We soon stop at a stall that was selling handmade jewellery, you could just tell by looking that these were made with such love and care. Every piece was dramatically different to the other, so if you brought this you were really getting a one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery. My eyes scan the pieces when they land on one, it was a beautiful locket that was sat on its own.“Do you like it?” Austin asks once noticing my eyes had not moved to any other piece, I nod my head with a little smile as I went.“It looks nearly identical to the one my grand
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Thirty-Four
We continue to cloud spot for a little while longer, this was something I didn’t expect that Austin would be enjoying. At first, I know he didn’t really think much of it, but now he was eagerly pointing at the different clouds. His guesses are much weirder than mine, apparently, he kept seeing a troll for some unknown reason.“I knew once you started getting into it, you’d start enjoying yourself” I say looking over at Austin who was still laying beside me, he nods his head laughing turning to look at me too.“I didn’t think this would be something I would be enjoying either, but lately it’s become clear that any activity involving you, I always enjoy myself” he says looking at my face where I just smile, but the conversation we had last night popped back into my mind.“What did you want me to do with the information you told me last night, I’m so happy with Roman and can’t picture myself with anyone that isn’t him” I say just being open with him, I didn’t want to lead him on in any w
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Thirty-Five
On the way home from the village, we stop off at Austin’s favourite pizza place. I wasn’t that hungry as I thought those pastries filled me up, but Austin kept saying that cloud spotting really took it out of him. We were walking up the steps to the apartment, Austin was going on a long tangent of how pizza is actually good for and that’s why we should eat it at least once a week. I laugh unlocking the door telling him how insane that sounded.“The ingredients for pizza may be somewhat healthy, but the amount of salt that they put in it isn’t good for you” I laugh walking through the door, it’s nice to have it every once and awhile but not constantly.I place my purse on the little shelf by the door before entering the living room, but once I look over, I stop in my tracks. Standing in the middle of the living room, facing the door was Roman. Austin continues to make a joke until he walks into me, he stops what he was doing until his eyes also go to the living room and saw Roman there
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Thirty-Six
I didn’t see Austin that night, I was worried until I heard him walking through the door in the early hours of the morning. I got ready for the day with Roman sat on the bed watching me, he was asking me questions about Jacob and the things I’ve had to do. I told him some parts while keeping others to myself, I knew Jacob would probably want to keep some parts between us for the time being.Once I was ready, we both leave the bedroom and head towards the main part of the apartment, where sat in the living room was Austin. As we walk in, he turns to look at us, I send him a tiny smile before looking over at Roman. Him and Roman haven’t been in the same room as each other since he found out what has been happening, just from this morning he doesn’t seem to be too annoyed anymore. Roman and Austin soon make eye contact, but for the first time, Austin doesn’t seem to be the one starting a conversation.“Alright, I just want to say I don’t have anything against you man, I understand why yo

I follow Jacob into this huge abandoned looking warehouse, but my mouth just hangs open from shock when I walk inside. I had never seen a place like this in all of my life, I thought it was just in those crime hunting tv series. The outside looked like a rundown warehouse whereas the inside, was decked out with high level computers and more devices than I have seen in all my life! As we walk in, I spot three other people sat there, who hadn’t noticed we had walked in due to their heads being buried in work.“Look alive people!” Jacob exclaims loudly which does finally get their attentions, they all whip their heads up to look at Jacob before all their eyes turn to look at me trailing behind him. “We need to widen our search for Brooke, we need to look at places where Markus frequents the most” he tells them stopping at a table, I was a little behind him just trying to take all this in as I was still pretty shocked about it all.“Do you believe there is a connection between Markus and

*Ten Months Later*I was peacefully walking up and down the market, as it was getting darker earlier once again, the pretty market was just full of fairy lights. This place always reminds me of a fairytale, the people are always so nice when you talk to them.We haven’t been able to come back here in way over a year, with all the chaos we had to stay clear of this place which was sad. But now I was back, the peaceful moment is what I really needed. But due to the peaceful moment, my mind was having its opportunity to start thinking about all the chaos that had filled my life for those months.Of course, my mind drifted to the one and only Roman first and what he was up to now. I know that might be very confusing but also, rather alarming to hear me speak about him that way. But I’m here to tell you, Roman never died that day, even though that’s what Jacob said. When the police looked more into what Markus did to the city, it was found that the device that Markus used to blow up all th

I continue to lay in Austin’s arms pretending to be passed out, the only flaw to my plan is I couldn’t see what was happening because of my eyes being closed. I trust Austin won’t let anything happen, but let’s all remember that Markus is about and when he’s involved, there’s no telling what could happen.“We don’t have time for this, come on” I hear Markus’s panicked voice says from somewhere, I didn’t know how long this was going to stale him but anytime, is better than us running with him.“Can’t you see that my pregnant girlfriend has passed out?!” Austin voice shouts which did nearly make me jump, thank the lord that I managed to not flinch.“Payton is going to be fine, but we really need to leave!” Markus says sounding like he was really losing his temper, but at this moment I didn’t care that much. “I know something that will wake her up” he says and before I know it, my eyes shoot open as he had just thrown cold water on my face.“What the fuck?” I ask looking down at myself,

Around an hour later, Austin and I were back in his car heading towards the seafront again. I feel like this is all I have done recently, just drive to and from the same places over and over again. We had both gone over the plan with Jacob and I felt confident, that we both knew what we had to do.The car was silent as we sat there, I think we were trying to come to terms with what we had just learnt, Austin more than me. While also, worrying if a certain part of this plan falls through, which is something we cannot let happen!“I still don’t understand how you were able to hide what you were doing from me for so long, either you’re really good or I don’t pay attention” Austin says breaking the silence, I look over at him laughing as he looked back at the road.“I did it to keep you safe and I knew what you would have said if I would have told you, I’m sorry I kept it from you, I hope you’re not too angry” I say looking over at him with a tiny smile, I would understood fully if he was

We soon head home and begin to pack our things, Austin told me that we would have to pack one bag each. We didn’t need to be lugging a heap of bags with us when we were trying to run, I kept agreeing with him before I start worrying about the plan that was ahead of us.I had packed a bag of important things before walking out into the living room, I could still hear Austin rushing around in his room getting his things ready. My eyes begin to scan the living room a place I had called home for a few years now, trying to take in any details that I could. I had no idea if we were going to be able to come back to this place once we leave, not because we’re going off with Markus as I know we’re not. But after he gets arrested, we’re going to be put in witness protection. I know for sure that we won’t be able to live here, this will be the first place that Markus will look.I still couldn’t really believe that this whole nightmare is going to end soon, the event that has taken over my life f
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Sixty-One
Austin just looks at me for a second, I had to try and act like I was somewhat surprised over what Markus had said. But I knew before Markus knew what was going to happen, Jacob gave me the heads up a few days ago.“I mean I’m happy that you’re taking us into consideration, but Payton and I can’t go on the run with you Markus” Austin says turning back to talk to Markus, I knew Austin didn’t want to because he knew I didn’t like being around Markus but also, because of the predicament that I was currently in.“I know it’s not the ideal situation, but you’re going to have to if you don’t want the police to turn their sights onto you” Markus says not getting why Austin was so hesitant, I was more shocked Austin was kind of telling Markus no for once.“We can’t psychical go on the run” Austin said looking to me as he said it, I think he was trying to spell it out to Markus who clearly, wasn’t getting what we were trying to say!“Sure you can, I have been on the run before I came here and

Austin soon spots Markus standing there too, lucky for us he hadn’t turn around to look at us yet so we had a few seconds. Now he was in my eye line, I couldn’t stop the scared feelings that were running through my body.“I know you’re scared Payton, but trust me you’re going to be fine” Austin whispers looking down at me as we walked, I take a deep breath in sending him a smile letting him know I was somewhat fine, even though my heart was going at a million miles an hour. As we get even closer to Markus, you could see from the way in which he was standing, that he was also panicking. We even managed to get right up behind him and he didn’t know it, this Markus is one I’ve never seen before!“Markus?” Austin says when he still didn’t turn around, this does make him jump and finally turn around to look at us standing right behind him.“You two don’t understand how happy I am to see your faces, you won’t believe the amount of shit I’ve had to deal with this morning and it’s only 10am!
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Fifty-Nine
In no time, we arrive at the sea front, my anxiety still off the charts at this point. One thing that I have learnt about Markus, you never know what his next move is going to be and there really isn’t much point trying to predict it either. Whenever you think a situation is going one way, Markus sweeps it from under you and sends you in a complete spin!We drive up and down for a few minutes, I was hoping we would be able to spot him and be able to stay in the car while we talk. That way if the conversation for whatever reason was to go south, we will be able to make a quick getaway. But I couldn’t catch sight of the man even once, even Austin said he couldn’t see him anywhere.“I think our best bet would be to park the car and look for him on foot” Austin says after a few more minutes with no luck, that plan was definitely not what I wanted.What if Markus has somehow found out that I have been the one helping police? Could this whole meet up be some kind of surprise attack? Markus
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Fifty-Eight
I was sat in my bed just letting my thoughts wonder, I don’t think I have fully had a chance to think over everything that has happened. Not only with Markus, or the feelings for Austin that are slowly taking over my thoughts. But the little life inside of me, I place my hand on my stomach just staring at the ceiling.I still can’t believe this is all happening, my mind has been so consumed with everything else that I haven’t fully processed what’s really happened. I just hope when the time comes, everything will be back to normal.The noise of my phone getting a message snaps me from my thoughts, I look over to see it sitting on the table. I had a thought I could just leave it, but I knew it might be urgent so I had to force myself to stand up to see who it was.I pick it up to see a message from Jacob, all it said was the plan was underway, but I knew exactly what that meant. I thought I would have more time to prepare myself, but it looks like it’s starting right now! The spies wer

We were soon pulling into the apartment complex, I feel like this is all I have done over the recent weeks. Just gone to and from seeing Jacob, Markus than home again, not how I thought my life would be going if I’m being honest. Jacob soon pulls up at the bottom of the steps where I send him a smile, I look over at see the lights on telling me that Austin had come home before I got back.“What should I tell Austin?” I ask looking over, I think I’m fully out of excuses at this point, I’ve had to use so many recently! “I can’t say I went to work today, he only told me yesterday that he had drove passed my work and saw it will be closed for a few weeks” I say my best excuse was out the window, he knows that most of my friends are out of town until all this trouble blows over and Brooke is missing.“Just say you got a call from the station telling you Roman wanted to see you, you were picked up by an officer and took over to see Roman” Jacob says which I soon think about for a second, th
